Z Fold 7 front screen color static issue

[Edwadipi17]

Just posting this out there to see if anyone else is having the same issue. I've had my Z fold 7 for 2 months or so now. Zero problems until now, loved it, completely worth the money. I was a little worried at first about the durability of the phone because I work a fairly laborus job and didn't want to ruin the screens with dust, but It hasn't been an issue... until maybe now? I was at the gym and went to check my phone, but when I turn on the front screen over 3/4 of it was covered in this color static which kinda freaked me out. Its not a static picture but rather static on a TV screen, that shifts and flickers across the screen, sometimes less of the screen sometimes more. I showed my friends and they suggested restarting it... and that worked, it went away. But then the next day it came back over and over again, and now it seems like it might be permanent. Extra info, the screen isn't cracked, I use a case, the phone doesn't have any damage, the folding screen still works perfectly fine thank God, the color static on my front screen seems to be split down the middle in 2 sections for some reason, I know it's probably hardware and not software because I tried to take a screenshot of it and it didn't show up in the screenshot. Has anyone else with a z fold 7 or another fold seen this or experienced it? What did you have to do? Was it covered under warranty or AT&T insurance? If not how much was it to fix?

Update: the front screen is working again after not working all night and after I put my case back on...

I guess extra info is the bug only starts happening the moment I take my phone out of my pocket, I've never seen it start while using my phone/ while looking at the screen /using it and Its fine but then it's flickering.

Full story: I rode my motorcycle home from the bar last night and when I got home I pulled my phone out of my pocket and it was doing it again. Im guessing it's caused by accessive motion or vibration. Anyways, I restart it, doesn't work this time. I thought maybe my case is causing pressure on some component, I take it off, restart, still bugged. I go to bed with the case off, but I have to leave it in open mode because with it charging and closed, the front screen it lit up with a low brightness dark red static-hum-hue because of the always on display while charging. I wake up in the morning, still bugged, restart, still bugged. I put the case back on, walk out the car, get in my car, take my phone out and it's fine.... so maybe the case is applying pressure in a good way?

That definitely sounds like a hardware issue with the front display — especially since it doesn’t appear in screenshots. A few Z Fold users have reported similar flickering/static problems caused by screen connector faults. Try running Samsung Members → Diagnostics → Display test, then contact Samsung Support — if it’s under warranty, they usually replace the outer screen at no cost.

There doesn't seem to be a display test option anymore, I ran a test and of course it said everything is fine
